Folks. If you watch the show, you know I spend most of my time right over there in the news kitchen sauteing the most topical South Anatolian red story beef strips with thinly sliced onion spices and striped monastery tomatoes with mint before carefully spooning it into the hand rolled puff pastry squares glazed with the wash of an egg from a Denzili chicken to serve up the tender and complex Turkish Talas Kebabi stuffed pastry that is my monologue. But sometimes, sometimes folks, hit some black ice there, hit some black ice there in the middle. Sometimes I wake up on the rusty flatbed of an Abrandan drop deck TR in a highway runoff ditch Where I scrape a raccoon carcass into a half eaten hot pocket and gnaw on the vagrant's roadkill calzone of news. That is my segment. Meanwhile, power to the people. That's a new battle cry. Meanwhile, across 10 states, Johnsonville cheddar Brats. Due to a potential plastic contamination. Oh no. Now they're bad for you. Meanwhile, researchers have developed a handheld device that could potentially replace stethoscopes as a tool for detecting certain types of heart disease. Well, we already have a handheld device that predicts heart disease. Johnsonville Cheddar Brats. If you're holding one, chances are you have heart disease. Meanwhile, beloved baseball mascot Mr. Met is entering the 2025 season with a noticeably stronger build. This is the old Mr. Met. And here's what he looks like now. Yowza. He is jacked. Turns out Mr. Met is short for Mr. Metabolic Steroids. So why the new look? According to his reps, for Mr. Met, getting in the best shape of his life was about becoming a symbolic reflection, limitless potential, adding also the divorce, the. The team and stuff. Yeah, yeah, but it was mostly the divorce. Meanwhile, a Rhode island man lost 132 pounds by eating chick fil A every day for more than a year. Did he eat the napkins? Had to be the napkins, right? Well, if this sounds too good to be true, turns out the meal of choice was the spicy southwest salad. That doesn't count as chick fil A. You can't say chick Fil A when you mean salad. That's like saying I go everywhere in my BMW socks. Meanwhile, cozy. Meanwhile, in Washington, a family was caught off guard when they and their dog named Gnocchi had an unexpected visitor on their deck.

There's a bald eagle on our deck. Does it want to eat gnocchi?

B
It wants to. Probably it would if Noki went outside. Yeah, that's a good guess. That's a pretty good guess. Do you see the look on that bird's face? That's the look of someone who's either here to eat you or watch you have sex. Oh. Oh. Hey, hey. Oh, you guys. You guys saw me. Good. As you were. Meanwhile, during this year's wildlife survey, two 60 year old geckos, believed to be the world's oldest on record, were discovered on a Smile island in New Zealand. They were easy to spot. They were the only two geckos with their iPhones set to large font. Meanwhile, in Dublin, the famous Molly Malone statue has been assigned a scurvy detail to stop tourists from squeezing its breasts, which people do because it's said to bring good luck. Turns out, boobs are good luck in Ireland, which explains those commercials. Heart stars and horseshoes, clovers and big naturals. We'll be right back. More Late show pot show after this. Folks, I love science. It shows us that we can learn anything about the human body as long as we're cool with losing a couple of mice. And I like to tell you about the latest scientific developments in my science segment, the Sound of Science. Hello, science, my old friend. There you go. First up, according to new research, some people never get hangovers. Boom. No one wants to see Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, and Ed Helms in the productive Morning Part 2. The Science Nerds don't fully understand the reason for hangover resistance, but they say those who are already stressed or depressed likely to suffer hangovers. Hello, we're drinking because we're stressed and depressed. There hasn't been something that was this much the problem and the solution since Taco Bell's cheesy gordita crunch. You know the slogan, eat it because you're sad, be sad because you ate it. Next up, I can go for a couple of those. Let's get some of those up in here. Next up, a fossilized fish up to 16 million years old was found in Australia with its last meal still intact. Still no word on why the fish was on death row. Next up, a new brain implant translates thoughts to speech in an instant, which was previously only achievable using a technology known as tequila. Next up, farmers are providing acupuncture treatment to their cows in France because advocates say the practice can boost immunity, improve milk production, and help with pain and other health issues. Scientists are hoping this works better than the last bovine wellness trend, Cow Pilates.

I maintain that's a disturbing image. Yep. Next up on the south side. According to a new study, people doing intense exercise experience time warp, making it feel as if they have been exercising for longer than they have. Uh, yeah. You know, who else can tell you that besides scientists? Anyone who's done a spin class. I'm already giving it everything I've got. Kaylin. No, I cannot lock in. No, I cannot dig deeper. No, no. It is not in me. Stop playing so much journey. Next up, sharks are not the silent killers we thought. And for the first time, scientists have recorded sharks making noises. And we have the footage here of the sound a shark makes. Jim, I'm a shark. It's nice. At the end, he goes, I'm A shark. So you wonder what bit you. Now, obviously I'm just joshing for a joke, folks. That's not actually the sound sharks make. Here's the real recording released by researchers. We all know that sound. Turns out this whole time, sharks have been down there popping bubble wrap. I'm a shark. Next up, scientists have developed a new hopping robot they say has squirrel like skills. Take a look. Here it goes. Okay. And boom. Wow. Just like a squirrel. Researchers say the squirrel bot is a major step toward driving dog robots insane. Next up, what works for low back pain? Not much, a new study says. Wow. Thanks, new study. I haven't been this inspired since Scientific American published the article want to lose weight? You won't, fatty, says researchers. Next up in scatological Sporting News, scientists say that elite athletes poop may hold clues to boosting metabolism. And that mice given fecal transplants from elite cyclists had increased energy stores. They put human cyclist poop in a mouse. That's not science. That's just doing weird stuff. Lance, Lance, listen up. We need you to poop into the mouse. No, no, no. Totally rehabilitate your image. Poop on the mouse. Next up, news about what every little boy wants to be when he grows up. A dinosaur. Because scientists in Mongolia recently unearthed the largest preserved dinosaur claw, which belongs to a dino species known as Duwanakis sogbatari, that had claws close to a foot in size, which gave it hands that looked like barbecue tongs. Which explains why the dinosaur was found wearing an apron that says, do wanna kiss the cook? Thank you for listening to the Late Show POD show with Stephen Colbert. Just one more thing. If you want to see more of me, come to The Late Show YouTube Chann for more clips and exclusives. I've been counted out, dismissed, passed over, told I'd never be a golfer with just one arm. But the only thing that feels better than proving people wrong is out driving them. I'm 14 year old golfer Tommy Morrissey and I want to be remembered for.
